1. report-video lists the driver as "nouveau" although I booted with nouveau.modeset=0. The usual problem of blank menus does not occur and xorg.conf reports "vesa," which is probably correct. glxgears reports 35 fps. Switching the driver to "nv" yields 40 fps. Still much too slow.

2. The proprietary NVIDIA 173.14.35 and 173.14.36 drivers fail to compile with an error message:

Quote:

ERROR: The kernel header file
'/lib/modules/3.8.0/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist. The
most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in
'/lib/modules/3.8.0/build' have not been configured.

Please try the latest discovery for NV-3X cards (including fx5200) and that is:

I installed lxterminal and guvcview from ppm (guvcview works)
I compiled and made pets of several applications.
I installed pemasu's google-chrome-fix-for-deb-install-0.0.1.pet +
google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb, also installed opera_12.14.1738_i386.deb

I was unable to compile the ati propietary driver, it gave an error:
Supported adapter detected.
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers.
/lib/modules/3.8.0/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.
One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system.
Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver.
Optionally, run the installer with --force option to install without the tools.
Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system
unstable. Not recommended.

Apart from not being able to install the ati driver every else is
working well so far.

Barry. About google-chrome patch. I forgot that google-chrome needs data and media cache restriction.
I have improved the patch so that it now sets those restrictions to 10 Mb. Otherwise /tmp or savefile will be eaten by accumulated data.

I don't think that wag-profiles.sh should be run from the terminal like that.

Rerwin last edited that script, he can comment if those errors are valid.

If Network Setup works, then wag-profiles.sh does too.

Barry is correct. Wag-profiles.sh is a code file included by net_setup.sh and should not be run standalone:

Code:

. ${APPDIR}/ndiswrapperGUI.sh
. ${APPDIR}/wag-profiles.sh

Both of those files should not have execute permission. That way, they can be run via "." but not by themselves.

BTW, note that I have provided a replacement for the 5.5beta frisbee package:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=684092#684092
I added that notice to my earlier posting about frisbee. Anyone using frisbee should replace it, to restore some of the text that should display. Also, is anyone else seeing wireless reconnects every 30 seconds. other than with driver wl?

- when doing for instance ls /dev/ram0 it displays in bright color not easily readable.

linuxcbon,

The default colors used by ls were intended for the Linux text console, which has a black background. You could swap urxvt's foreground and background colors by adding this line to your ~/.Xdefaults file:

Code:

urxvt.reverseVideo: True

(You might want to change the font as well, since Nimbus Mono L, the font that is defined in ~/.Xdefaults seems less legible in reverse video. I simply removed it from ~/.Xdefaults, and let urxvt use a default font.)

But if you prefer the current white background, you can simply change the background color that ls uses to list block devices and character devices.

Add this line to your ~/.bashrc file:

Code:

export LS_COLORS='bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01'

Alternatively, you could put it in your /etc/profile.local file or in an appropriate line in your /etc/profile file.

Hi everyone, I found another debdb2pupdb bug. It's in 5.4.3, I have to check yet in the 5.5beta.
Some Ubuntu packages have weird dependencies like "udev(>=", "libx11-6(>>" and so on. The root cause is that in the Ubuntu package databases, in the package dependency data, sometimes the dependent package name and version requirement has no space between them.

This pc has a hauppage pvr card in it:
Multimedia video controller Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416)
Video Decoder (rev 01)
With other recent pups if I put the firmware for it in /lib/firmware
and then reboot, I can use the vlc option to open the capture device
PVR and watch tv but that isn't working with this 380 kernel.
